Kan ibland tycka att ”rasistiskt” används lite väl lättvindigt. Men att kartlägga personers ”värderingar” (dvs åsikter) enbart utifrån ursprung… jag kan inte komma på ett bättre ord. Och det av ett parti som kallar sig ”liberaler”. Fyfan.

Regeringen och Sverigedemokraterna ska undersöka invandrares åsikter – och jämföra dem med svenskföddas. Det är att öppna både för diskriminering och inskränkningar i de mänskliga rättigheterna, skriver Annie Croona.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.
